Ever heard of the time Israel got invaded by all of its neighbors? Yeah, that’s happened numerous times with the aim of destroying Israel once and for all so don’t tell me Israel doesn’t have any hostile neighbors.

Despite Israel having an advanced military today, people live in fear every day of rocket attacks from Hamas, which maintains in its charter the aim to destroy Israel.

I would say that constitutes a hostile neighbor.

Hamas is the terrorist organization you should be worrying about - storing its rockets in schools and hospitals that Israel makes every effort to ensure are evacuated before it takes out Hamas’ weapons caches.

Undoubtedly, the situation needs to be improved, and restraint needs to be shown on both sides but this is not as one sided as it’s made out to be.

I think one of the problems is that sometimes things really need to understood in terms of human cost. Israel does show restraint and is in a terrible position, but they still do things that are hard to ever justify. It can be understandable that the Israeli position is to always put Israeli lives first, but this still leads to horrible outcomes of disproportionate force. They also use retaliatory tactics that punish those who simply have a family connection to the accused. These are objectively horrible things that they do and even if they can be explained it is very hard to morally justify them.

The conflict really is not one sided, but the objectively horrible actions(and importantly impotent intentions) of Hamas do not justify everything that Israeli does. A war that has basically gone one for 70 years is going to make the countries involved unhealthy.
